The Invisalign® System

How do you feel about your smile? Are you embarrassed to show it off because you have gaps or crooked teeth? Perhaps you've thought about doing something to fix your smile but didn't want to have to deal with uncomfortable metal braces. Well, now you don't have to. Over the last several years, braces have come a long way. Unattractive and cumbersome metal is not the only option anymore. There's a cosmetic alternative to traditional brace-wear called Invisalign® that has become a popular choice among adults.

4 Major Benefits of Invisalign

• Appearance - The aligner trays used in the Invisalign system are nearly invisible.

• Comfort - Instead of sharp metal, the aligners are made of smooth plastic.

• Quickness - The Invisalign system straightens teeth faster than traditional braces.

• Ease of use - Patients can remove their aligners when they eat or drink and for brushing and flossing purposes, unlike with metal braces. 

Invisalign for Young Adults

If you have older children that are in need of braces, there is a good chance that they may not want to wear metal braces. Invisalign could be the perfect solution. A young adult can start using Invisalign as long as he or she has all of their permanent teeth and qualifies for the procedure. The most important requirement for young adults is that they wear their aligners for at least 22 hours a day without misplacing the aligner when it is out of the mouth.. In addition, they need to visit their dentist twice a month to get new trays.
